1st day: Solo and duet were not eliminated (shock and horror) but it wasn't really good either.
Came back at 1130pm. Thanks to ZT and JH for keeping me company =)
2nd day: Concert day.
Erm...Well today's the day where I had to perform my solo at the ensemble concert. Due to technical difficulties, the piano accompaniment CD couldn't be played, resulting me to seek the help of DORCAS! the master pianist....lol....she sight-read the entired piece and we only praticed about 5 times in total....this is called hugging the leg of Buddha I suppose.....XD
When show-time came, I was surprisingly calm.....compared to the auditions.....at least my legs weren't shaking ><....but the 'butterflies in the stomach' thing....that's kinda true....
Thankfully I managed to get all the high G s....But I wasn't really pleased with it, (actually I don't think anyone in the audience was....sorry guys....)
Bottom line is: I need more practice!
I resolve ( don't see me using that word much, haha) to practice harder in the future, and more importantly, to START practicing earlier...XD
Like what 教练 said...it's not just the notes, it's also your 表演神态 (performance air? lol) and that takes years of experience to accumulate.....and of course, the most important thing is that you do your best! =)
What does not destroy me, makes me stronger--Friedrich Nietzsche
Another variation is : Whatever that does not kill me, only makes me stronger. Yep, that's sort of my motto these days, although it sounds kinda morbid, but it tells us that we should learn from our mistakes.....at least that's what I choose to believe ^^ but hey, we choose our own mottos, right?
********************************************************
When you are nervous, strange things happen. During the concert, when I was waiting for my turn, the flutes seemed to take a reaaally long time. What was strange was I suddenly felt very tired and starting yawning non-stop. Well, anything's better than throwing up or fainting....haha...
Footnote: My outfit was a success! haha....HM said I was her idol lol...
FN: Many thanks to the lovely DORCAS! for helping me out with the piano accompaniment
: And also to everyone who encouraged me...couldn't have done it without you guys....muax~
: High heels are great and all, but they really play no part in running or climbing up stairs...= =
